So have I....I think the thread spent a lot of time on China and other countries rather than focuse on our country and preperation as well as what was being done for the few here. No that that was a bad thing to do but you had to wade through multiple posts before finding out about our country.....and then you had those who do create a hype....so the thread became pretty useless for me.
Yes, its hard. And the other thing with people trying to base things on China is that the Chinese simply lie. They may be minimizing their problem...or for reasons of their own, they may be exaggerating it. So any supposed info you get from China is pretty useless, but as you say its hard to sort out whats really happening here in the US with all the hair on fire comments cluttering the threads!
